Have had a look on Freebmd and found a death for Raymond P Meredith in Lewisham 1933.
Hope this helps.
Ann.

Looking for some help of where to search next to find out more
about Raymond Palmer MEREDITH. First what I know, then some questions.
1. Raymond's father William Thomas MEREDITH was born about 1862 in
California, in the United States when William's father was there for the
gold rush and such. Records are scarce, but it appears William's mother
died and the father returned to Wales and England with the four young
children where he married a second wife in 1869 in Hay, Breconshire,
Wales. Have the 1869 marriage certificate but know no more about her.
Can find none of them on the 1871 census. Then William's father married
a third wife in 1872 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales, had two more
children and remained there the rest of his life. Also have marriage
certificate for the third marriage.
2. Raymond's mother was Elizabeth KEEFFE (spelled many ways on different
records). She was born in 1861 in Tredegar, Monmouthshire, Wales to
parents who were from Ireland. Have her birth certificate.
3. The 1881 census shows William MEREDITH in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire,
Wales with his father, a retired goldminer. On the 1891 census William's
father was shown as living on his own means.
4. Have marriage certificate for when William Thomas MEREDITH and
Elizabeth KEEFFE were married in 1888 in Crickhowell, Breconshire, Wales.
They had two girls in 1888 and 1889.
5. William Thomas MEREDITH and his wife Elizabeth were in Merthyr
Tydfil, Glamorganshire, Wales for the 1891 census. He was a railway
agent. One of his sisters born in United States was with them as well as
one of their daughters. The other daughter was with maternal
grandparents.
6. Raymond Palmer MEREDITH was born 7 April 1895 in Merthyr Tydfil,
Glamorganshire, Wales.
7. The 1901 census shows the William MEREDITH family including son
Raymond at Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales. William was a railway
agent.
8. William's father died in 1894 and his step-mother (the third wife)
died in 1910, both in Abergavenny.
9. Raymond MEREDITH was with his parents and sisters on the 1911 census
in Lewisham, London, England. His father William was shown as a
gentleman of private means.
10. I found two records on ancestry that may pertain to Raymond Palmer
MEREDITH.
a. UK, Naval Medal and Ward Rolls--Raymond P. MEREDITH, Victory
Medal, British War Medal, service year 1914-1920 in Europe during World
War I. His service number is F99. How do I find out if this pertains to
the individual I am concerned with?
b. There is another Navy listing with columns and abbreviations
that make no sense to me. The page is stamped 130, but it is image 133.
Can anyone explain this page?
--name, Raymond P. Meredith
--rank or rating, A.M.1
--No., F.99
--medals, etc, earned has a check in second column and a
B in third column
--how issued or disposed of, BY AM
11. Have not yet found marriage or death of Raymond nor deaths of his
parents.
Would welcome suggestions of where to search after 1911 census to find
out more about Raymond Palmer MEREDITH.
